Many love the way these adorable little creatures find themselves in so many surprising situations. Squirrels are always looking for food, but they are also curious about everything around them. Their overactive nature is non-rejectable, and it’s so much fun to see how they react when you give them treats or toys.

Ellis’ photographs may seem simple, but there is clearly a great lot of job behind them. In this regard, he told Bored Panda that he uses toys that attract squirrels, cookies, and food seeds to inspire them to take perfect photos. And he places that food near the platforms he has created. Ellis thinks they’re really smart because they’re playing on the stage by creating easy ways to get those treats.
